Welcome

Privacy Warning: Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive
and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a
username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

The information shared in these forums, by moderators and members, is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between an individual and his/her own
physician.

All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators
of these forums. Click here for “Am I Infected?” posting guidelines. Click here for posting guidelines pertaining to all other POZ/AIDSmeds community forums.

We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please
provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are
true and correct to their knowledge.

Everyone please pray for Webbie. I remember his telling the story of Manuel and it was so vivid and deeply touching. (Those of us living in the USA should be grateful because to have HIV in certain other countries is sometimes an even bumpier ride than here.) Webbie: I send you well wishes, sunshine, healing, peace, love and the spirit to keep on going if you so choose

Webbie dont give up cos you have strength..Everybody hurts sometimes... ear these musics and find strength to go on... to go on like was Manuel's will. Manuel wants you to succeed , to be happy , to live your life.I hope that you came back here and read our posts... don't give up. your efforts weren't in vain, it worth.. and you know that. you know...Kisses, love and strength Madalena

However sad your story and the things you went through with Manuel, I got angry reading your post. We've had a suicide threath here a couple of weeks ago and it did upset everybody enormously. People who didn't sleep, huge stress, people trying to reach the person because they cared.

Putting a mail on the web like you did makes the whole forum worried and powerless. It suggests that you want to end your life although you don't say it literally. What can we do? Most of us don't know you well enough to help you, to contact you. People get worried, frightened. You close a door. We don't deserve that.

I don't know if there is a point in writing this, I don't know if you will ever read this, but if you do, I want you to know that however sad you are, this is a cruel thing to do to fellow forum members. We care too much for each other not to be terribly worried about the person who writes a thing like this.

I hope you will come back and find and get the support you need. My honesty towards about what I feel now you is a first sign to show you I want to invest in you when you are here on aidsmeds.
